Nice.
I like it.
Wouldn't go out in the rain to see her, but nice.

I post this only to marvel at the range of Mr. Irving Berlin! From Rhapsody In Blue to this.
An Amazing man!

I was very fortunate as a young airman during a USO show to escort Stevie Nicks...to this day I'll never forget her voice or moves.

This has been posted before by Scrapper or Clone I think, but worth another look.

I saw Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Frampton, Gary Wright & Status Quo) on May 1, 1976 at San Francisco's Day on the Green "The British Are Back" show. It was awesome!

...and I was in town when "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" veterans Joe Cocker, Leon Russell and Rita Coolidge came to Winterland.
Didn't see them
Working, trying to feed a family. Wink

But HEARD them.

All that to ask, "does that count"? Laughing

I think I need to see this movie.

Something old, yet current.



Down by the Jordan, it's early in the morning
The sun is in the sky, all the people passing by
There's magic in the air, some stop to stare at a man, who says he cares.

People came from miles to hear what he had to say
Some of them believed in him, and some just walked away

He tried to explain, a fall from paradise, was meant to be
Disbelief showed in their eyes, drowning out his distant cries

"I'm telling the truth to you brother, telling it true to you sister, go tell the truth to the others ... all over the land"


Now we're here on the planet to live, we're able to love and able to give
There's a lot going down, some win and some lose, still we're able to choose

But think of the times you cry in the night
Kicked through the years
There is no choice
We have to fight

Through it all the world goes on, it's another day
People rushing to a fro, counting hours as they go

I tried to explain, our fall from paradise, was meant to be

It's written down for all to hear, there's not much time, the time is near

"I'm telling the truth to you brother, telling the truth to you sister, go tell the truth to the others ... all over the land"

Yeah, Yeah

I like 'em, and yet always felt the were just around the corner for being as good as they could be. So, 40 years later it seems they are who they are, who they were, or whatever.
I've had a rear fondness for "Lady" and return to it often. I really enjoy the sound and that's good because the lyrics are not so great.

And returning to stuff from the past, have a listen to this.
Yep. Doris Day. Really. I'm putting up a Doris Day cut, and not even apologizing. Much. Never a Doris Day fan (My ex wife was a Dorris Day look alike--if Doris Day had been hit by a Mack truck) and that was enough to sour me on her voice.

But...

If you have time to listen to this, you might agree with me that it's not the typical Dorris Day pop, the stuff going on before Janis gave us her genius. This D. Day gives us a kind of throaty, smoky, sound, a 3 AM feeling that I really like. It's on a playlist I like just before "Watchcha Gonna Do".

Anyway...

Different Drum: The Power of Linda Ronstadt’s Voice




"On Saturday, we learned that Linda Ronstadt, who is sixty-seven, has Parkinson’s disease, and that one effect of this is that she can no longer sing. It’s incredibly sad news".

"The sound of Ronstadt’s voice—invincibility, bravery, emotion channelled into intelligence and art—is the sound of overcoming anything".

Thank you for posting this song, Wonky. I had never heard her rendition, and it is exactly how you described it.
